Kendra Yee: Exhibition Opening + Artist Talk

Mar 3, 2024, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Please join us to celebrate the opening of, Commonplace, a new exhibition by RBC Emerging Artist in Residence, Kendra Yee. Let us know you’re coming with an RSVP.

Refreshments will be served. Join us in the exhibition space at 2pm for an artist talk with Kendra Yee.

Kendra Yee’s residency exhibition features an installation of over 100 clay tiles inspired by memories. During her time at the RMG, Kendra Yee put out a call for collaboration, inviting her friends, supporters, and RMG community members of all ages to share a personal story with her in the medium of their choice. Her tiles represent the way she received, and will continue to hold, each memory, while the installation, which takes the form of a large dining table, points to the spaces where we gather and share stories with one another.

Seating will be available. If there is anything else we can do to support your participation, please reach out to Hannah at [email protected].

The artist gratefully acknowledges support from the Canada Council for the Arts for this exhibition.

This program is supported by the RBC Foundation’s RBC Emerging Artist Project.
